I’ve seen a rascal with big mud tire, but never a rascal on tracks.

I think we might be onto something here….

Too late. Meet the Action TrackChair

An empire in decline. 
My 17 year old can drive a standard, learned in Costa Rica and he's going to surf thier again and the rental will likely be a standard so he prioritized learning while pops was there to offer advice.

You were named after the dog?

I've got a lot of fond memories of that dog.

NSFW, obviously.
 

 

 

I don't know how in the hell he got in pre-internet, but in the 1980's...musta been some VHS tape with hyped up audio.  But my father showed me a similar clip of Earl Weaver going crazy on an umpire.  I didn't even realize the colorfulness of the vulgarity at the time.  I mean, I had seen Jim Frey get kicked out a couple of times in person at Wrigley or on WGN, but Weaver was in a class all of his own.  

And it's funny, this clip reminds of me of the one time I got to tour the dugout at Wrigley.  And I wondered why baseball was the one sport where the manager/coaches wear the same uniform as the players.  I had seen Ditka in a sweater, but too hot for summer.  I had seen Collins in a suit for the Bulls.  And wondered why coaches in baseball wear the uniform.  And I'm looking at short Weaver there with the fake stirrups on his socks.  And I remember going through the dugout and it was just absolutely disgusting.  Dip, chewed gum, spit, sweat, blood, probably some piss.  Nothing you'd want on a suit or a sweater.  

Anyway, Earl was one of a kind.  We post frequently of bygone eras and snowflakes and triggers.  But Earl crossed many epochs and meridians.  He was a throwback to a previous iteration of the game but could see ahead to where it was going.  We won't see any more like him anytime soon.

Added kicker-watch Eddie Murray's facial expression during clips like these.  He wants to restrain Earl.  He wants to bust out laughing.  He wants to join Earl in the tirade.  He wants to resume playing.  He wants to defend his team.  All at the same time.  It's Emmy-level shit

Years ago when I worked in restaurant management I would encourage waiters with gas to run all the meat and cheese trays they could. "Walk around, air out your pants, stop and talk to folks and show them what all comes on it. Fart all you want and anywhere you want, as long as you're carrying that with you it doesn't matter if you fart right at the table. Just the smell of that Tallegio cheese alone gives you plausible deniability if not flat out immunity."

Weaver was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1996.


Yeah, but Haller got the last laugh. Weaver died in 2013 and Haller in 2022.

From Weaver's Wiki:

Weaver never got along well with umpires. Palmer described their relationship: "Earl Weaver hated umpires with every fiber of his win-or-die being. He yelled at them. He screamed in their faces. He kicked dirt on them. He tore up rule books. He taunted and tortured them."[20] Weaver was ejected from games at least 91 times during the regular season (98, according to one source)[21] and several more times during post-season play. He was ejected from both games in a doubleheader three times. He was twice ejected from games before they even started, both times by Ron Luciano.[22] Luciano alone ejected him from all four games of a minor-league series and eight games in the majors.[23] Sometimes, even after Weaver had been thrown out of a game, he would phone the Oriole dugout to tell the coaches what moves to make.[24]

He also received four multiple-game suspensions. He was well known for the humor that often accompanied his ejections. During one particular tirade with an umpire, Weaver headed to the dugout screaming, "I'm going to check the rule-book on that" to which the umpire replied, "Here, use mine." Weaver shot back, "That's no good—I can't read Braille."[25] He once told an umpire that he could appear on What's My Line? wearing his mask, chest protector, holding his ball/strike indicator and still nobody would guess he was an umpire.[21]

Weaver had a penchant for kicking dirt on umpires, and for turning his cap backwards whenever he sparred with umpires in order to get as close to them as possible without actually touching them.[26] His rivalry with Luciano was legendary, to the point where the AL rearranged umpiring schedules for an entire year so that Luciano would not work Orioles games. A year later on August 26, 1979, in the third inning of the opener of an Orioles-White Sox doubleheader at Comiskey Park, he ejected Weaver who then publicly questioned Luciano's "integrity" and received a three-game suspension.[22] Weaver once derisively called Luciano "one of the few umpires that people have paid their way into the park to see."[27]

Marty Springstead was one of Weaver's least favorite umpires. On September 15, 1977, in Toronto, Weaver asked Springstead to have a tarpaulin covering the Toronto Blue Jays bullpen area removed; the tarp was weighted down by bricks and Earl argued his left fielder could be injured if he ran into the bricks while chasing a foul ball. When the umpire refused to order the Blue Jays to move the tarp, Weaver pulled the Orioles off the field. The umpire declared a forfeit, the only forfeit in Orioles history. On another infamous occasion, in Cleveland, Weaver stormed to the dugout and returned to the field with a rulebook in his pocket. "Don't take that book out or you're outta here," Springstead warned. Weaver pulled it out anyway and was ejected.[28][29] After that game, Weaver said of Springstead, "He's a terrific guy...He's just not a very good umpire."[28]

One of Weaver's most infamous tirades came on September 17, 1980, in a game against the Detroit Tigers. First base umpire Bill Haller, who was wearing a microphone for a documentary on the daily life of an MLB umpire, called a balk on Oriole pitcher Mike Flanagan. Weaver charged out of the dugout and began screaming at Haller, who was already angry at Weaver for publicly questioning his integrity by suggesting he be prohibited from working Tigers games in 1972 because his brother was the Tigers' backup catcher at the time.[23] After Weaver was ejected, he launched into a profanity-filled argument in which he accused Haller of blatantly calling the game out of the Orioles' favor. He also accused Haller of poking him in the chest, and after Haller denied doing so they called each other liars.[30] Weaver's contempt for umpires was often mutual. One night in 1973 Weaver threw his cap to the ground and began a vehement argument with Luciano. Luciano's crew-mate Don Denkinger walked over to Weaver's cap, stepped on it with the sharp cleats of both shoes, and slowly twisted back and forth

I don't travel enough on planes, but what happened to making the fatties buy 2 tickets?  Was that ever a thing or did it get quashed.  That should definitely be a thing if you can't contain your rolls withing the armrests.

I passed out on a plane from Dallas after a Red River game and woke up with the gigantic women sitting next to me/on me.  She was warm and moist. Never again.
